Gladys Mae Lilly

Gladys was born December 12, 1939 in Clendenin. She was a graduate of Clendenin High School. She attended Dunbar Mountain Mission Church and was a lifelong homemaker who earned the nickname “Green Thumb”, as she could seemingly grow anything anywhere. She enjoyed bowling, flower gardens, and many other plants that adorned her home.

In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to the American Cancer Society, Dunbar Mountain Mission, or HospiceCare in her loving memory.
